Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Obtunded describes a level of consciousness in which the child is arousable with stimulation. Stupor is a state in which the child remains in a deep sleep, responsive only to vigorous and repeated stimulation. Confusion is impaired decision making. Disorientation is confusion regarding time and place.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
6
The average pH for urine is 6. The normal range is 4.8 to 7.8. Abnormal pH levels are associated with urinary infection and metabolic alkalosis or acidosis.
